Greenwich Village 1963: Hootenannies are all the rage, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez are young fresh faces, and a gifted folk singer has just been murdered in Joe Talley's club, The Riding Beggar. Tom Paxton is quoted as saying, "Spooky. If I'd known he was watching us all so carefully, I'd have behaved much better." From Kearney Street Books, in Bellingham, Washington ("publishing books by or about music or musicians"). ~ Becky in Tucson |
